What Does This Mean?
A tone indicator typed at the end of a message to mark that the statement carries a positive connotation or friendly intent, such as a compliment that should not be read as sarcasm. It is the counterpart of /neg and is used by people who want their tone to be unambiguous in text.
REAL-WORLD EXAMPLE
""Your edits are wonderfully chaotic /pos.""
LORE & ORIGIN
Wikipedia's tone indicator article lists /pos (also /pc) as the tag for a positive connotation, alongside /neg for a negative one, and notes that the claims need citations. It gives no date or place of origin for /pos, and traces tone tags in general to /s for sarcasm. No dated first use of /pos is documented in the pages opened. The existing entries on tone policing and the slash tags /j and /srs cover related uses.
